Learn More About Kara

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love the peace of mind I know it gives to a kitty parent to know their cat babies are well taken care of. Meeting different cats and all the personalities they have is so fun. Cats teach boundaries so well!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

We have 3 kitties! Harrison, a sassy tabby who is 8. I've had him since he was a tiny kitten. Milo and Sushi are both 1 yr old orange babies. Milo was found as a orphaned newborn and my 15 yr old daughter bottle fed him. He is thriving now and very fiesty. Sushi is also a rescue cat and is the sweetest, gentle fluffy boy.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I am extremely vigilant about doors, baby gates and the like. Being a farm kid, we learned early to keep 'gates' closed! Ha! And I employ that with cat sits as well!

Kara is the best! I knew the whole time I was away that my cats were in the best hands possible. She was especially attentive to my 18-year-old Nermal, who can be very testy but was on her best behavior with Kara. I highly recommend Kara's services!

Kara was the purr-fect cat sitter for our two cats. Her photos look professional and we felt at ease with her timely reports. you could tell our cats felt safe with her, one of them even rolling around on his back. Highly recommended!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

If you are not fully satisfied with your sitter after the Meet & Greet or during the reservation, please call 1-844-636-9835 so we can help you re-book with a new sitter to ensure we can deliver on our purrfect hospitality promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

San Marcos cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in your sitter before you leave.

Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
